Ivona Polumenta Has Gallbladder Removed in Emergency Surgery
The wife of singer Dado Polumenta posted from the hospital after an urgent operation. Gallstones and the start of an inflammation were found on an ultrasound.
Ivona Polumenta underwent emergency surgery, and on October 10 she announced on Instagram that her gallbladder had been removed. The wife of singer Dado Polumenta shared an unfiltered photo from the hospital, taken right after the procedure.
The operation was needed because of tiny gallstones and the start of an inflammation of the gallbladder. Both were found on an ultrasound, and before that, by her own account, she had only mild pain. In her post she wrote:
They removed my gallbladder because of the tiny stones inside it.
What did doctors find on the ultrasound?
Ivona Polumenta says she had no pronounced symptoms and never suspected a medical problem. In her words: “I didn’t have any particular symptoms, apart from a bit of pain these past few days, but nothing alarming.”
The pain was enough to send her for an ultrasound, and she described what the doctor saw and why it is dangerous:
I go for an ultrasound and the doctor spots tiny stones, which are very dangerous because they can pass through the bile ducts very easily, damage other organs and, worst of all, damage the pancreas, which is very dangerous. He even found the start of an inflammation of the gallbladder.
After the operation she said everything went smoothly: “It’s all over, thank God everything went well and we did it all in time.” She also thanked the people who have been writing to ask how she is.
What did she say to those who comment on her looks?
She opened the post by addressing people who pick apart other people’s faces and bodies. She captioned the photo, taken without makeup or filters, like this:
Do you think it matters to me now whether I have makeup on, or how I look with it or without it? That is exactly what I’m talking about: you never know what battles someone is fighting outside of social media while you analyze their face, their body and their flaws. So, a little less malice and a little more humanity. P.S. Here’s one taken right after the operation today, no filter, and I couldn’t care less how I look. At least they cast the evil eye on me looking like this.
She closed with another line: “In moments like this I realize how lucky I am, and how rich in the people I have around me.”
